    Eden Camp Modern History Museum, located in Malton, England, offers visitors an immersive experience of World War II history. The museum is set in a former prisoner-of-war camp, which adds to its authenticity and atmosphere. Exhibits cover various aspects of the war, including military operations, home front experiences, and the Holocaust.

    Many visitors appreciate the detailed recreations of wartime scenes, which provide a vivid understanding of life during the 1940s. The museum's use of sound effects, smells, and visual displays creates a multisensory experience that many find engaging and educational. The wide range of artifacts, vehicles, and interactive displays cater to different interests and age groups.

    The museum receives praise for its comprehensive coverage of both military and civilian perspectives of the war. Many visitors find the information presented to be informative and thought-provoking, offering insights into lesser-known aspects of the conflict.

    However, some visitors note that the museum's layout can be confusing, and signage could be improved to enhance navigation. A few reviewers mention that some exhibits may benefit from updates or refurbishment to maintain their impact. Additionally, during peak times, crowding in narrow corridors can detract from the experience.

    The outdoor areas, including military vehicles and aircraft, are generally well-received, though some visitors suggest more information could be provided about these exhibits. The on-site cafe receives mixed reviews, with some finding it adequate and others suggesting improvements in quality and variety.

    Overall, Eden Camp Modern History Museum is widely regarded as a valuable educational resource that provides a compelling look into World War II history. Its immersive approach and extensive collection make it a worthwhile visit for those interested in this period of history, despite some minor areas for improvement.

    Arrived today with our family for our first visit to the Eden Camp. Purchased the tickets online as requested on the website, to reduce contact. Arrived, showed our tickets and we were given an overview on the one way system in place, asked if we have face masks with us to please wear them, then advised to park in the car park leaving a space between each car, all appeared to be good at this point. Upon parking we followed the signs the first hut (1) where advice of social distancing/face masks/consideration for other visitors went out of the window, it was a free-for-all! No staff, no restrictions in place, no regulation on the amount of people entering the individual huts, nothing. Highly concerning as the Eden Camp is a family attraction, which will attract visitors of ALL AGES, specially visitors that are in high risk groups. Extremely disappointed of the lack of management/leadership/visitor consideration. Strong advice - “Stay Away’ until correct procedures are put in to place to protect the general public. Completely disgraceful for what is a nice visitors attraction.

    I thought it was very good. A wide age range in our family which pleased us for the detail and the inter-activeness of some of the huts: the Great Escape and the U Boat. Very hot when we visited so the heat drove us home after 6 hours and we only saw about half. Really friendly and welcoming staff, very helpful. Free parking and no hassle when eating your own food, places to eat provided. Thoroughly recommended. for all the family. All prices, especially for the inevitable ice creams very good.
